Hello everybody, I am trying to analyze the up-link Wireless traffic generated by my Sony Ericsson phone and captured by my D-Link router, on which I installed the DD-WRT firmware. To do this, first I log in the router and enable the prism0 interface by typing the command:
and then I start to capture the packets by typing:
where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the MAC address of my Sony Ericsson phone. After a while I transfer the sony_ericsson_test.pcap file to my computer and open it with Wireshark program. In order to display the RSSI values I follow this procedure: Edit -> Preferences... -> Columns -> Press "Add" button -> As "Field type" I choose "IEEE 802.11 RSSI" and finally I choose name "Power" and click on "Apply" button. The problem is that the column "Power" is empty with no RSSI values. Does Anyone has a clue on why are RSSI values not displayed? Maybe I am missing a passage. Looking forward to hearing from anyone of you! Thanks in advance for your help! asked 04 Oct '12, 01:46  Giovanni Soldi |
One Answer:
Same problem as http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/14963/how-to-get-the-field-did-unknown-4041-into-the-column, with the same solution (i.e., wait for me to check in a fix and for the fix to show up in a future 1.6.x or 1.8.x release for whatever platform you're using). answered 12 Oct '12, 18:44  Guy Harris ♦♦ |
Does anyone can help? I am completely stuck and out of ideas!
Thanks a lot!
with tshark you can use a combination of -T -e options to display various field names. heres the link to my video, if it helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCKPXasZHTk
Interesting! I am checking! Thanks!
Hi! I looked at the video but I don't find anywhere how to specify the field for getting the rssi values. Do you have any idea?
